Midi Fighter question...
Midi Fighter question... Posted on: 25.08.2012 by Teresia Janusch Does it only have a USB socket, or has it got the standard 5 pin din midi out socket too? Id quite like to add one to my rig, but i dont like the idea of adding a USB hub...ive a 13' MBP with only 2 USB ports, one for my Xone 1D and the other for DJM900.Also if i did end up going down the hub route, id prefer a passive one...has anyone any experience using a midi fighter (classic or 3d) and another controller on one unpowered hub? The Xone 1D only has 4 LEDs and the way i have it mapped, they represent the deck in focus, so only 1 is on at a time. | |

| Teresia Janusch 05.09.2012 | im reluctant to go down the powered hub route, as a gigging DJ this is a potential point of failure...if the hub was to die, id sacrifice the MF and stick with my Xone 1d as all my transport controls and effects are mapped to it... |
| Adolf Hit 05.09.2012 | Hey guys! You are correct the 3D is USB only, and requires a full powered USB port to function. The classic will work fine with an un-powered USB hub, however due to code space restrictions and the USB controller used it is impossible for us to add remix deck functionality to the classic. Best Regards, Michael. |
| Teresia Janusch 05.09.2012 | Ok cool, might just take a punt with the 3d then... |
| Katelyn Hoctor 05.09.2012 | as far as i no the classic is purely midi but with programming knowledge is possible to redesign the firmware for HID which is how the 3d works for remix deck control and has a switch back to midi for effect control but midifidler said that switch over isnt possible to create on the MFC or pro board |
| Teresia Janusch 05.09.2012 | related question, will the classic work with the TSP remix decks like the 3d will? if so, im just gonna buy one and see if it will work on a non-powered hub |
| Teresia Janusch 25.08.2012 | Aww that sucks...my studio gear is all via the traditional din socket so im well used to looping that (ive my 900 mapped and connected via the 1D) i see the classic mf has no leds, so maybe it should be easier on the power levels |
| Latoria Kavulich 25.08.2012 | They just have the standard usb b socket mate. i use the 3D through hub, powered though. |
